I wonder if mass timber is more sustainable because the beams are engineered and don't have to come from old growth trees. A certain amount of logging can be done sustainably.
One inconsistency that seems to exist in Halifax is that there is so much lip service paid to climate change and the environment but there's tons of neglect and demolition of functional buildings while there are still many empty lots. Governments and institutions might be the worst offenders.
